Die Gattung Xyleborus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). Ergänzungen, Berichtigungen und Erweiterung der Diagnosen, I. Teil.

Abstract

The above paper is to complete the descriptions of known species of Xyleborus adding numerous figures. Alterations important to nomenclature are: Xyleborus longehirtus nom. nov. pro Xyleborus dubius Eggers (the latter already used by Eichhoff for a Madagascan species) and Xyleborus pacificus nom. nov. pro Xyleborus truncatus Sharp (previously used by Erichson). Xyleborus posticestriatus Eggers and Xyleborus compactus Eichhoff are transferred to Xylosandrus Reitter as to their coxal and antennal structures.
